Step 3: Assemble the Cake

Place the cooled sponge layer inside a cake ring or keep it inside the pan.

Pour mousse evenly over the sponge.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).

This step is crucial — the mousse must fully set before adding glaze.

Step 4: Prepare the Mirror Glaze

Bloom gelatin in water.

Heat sugar, water, and condensed milk in a saucepan.

Remove from heat and stir in gelatin.

Pour mixture over chopped white chocolate and mix until smooth.

Add purple coloring.

Let it cool to about 90°F (32°C) before pouring.

Pour glaze over the chilled cake in one smooth motion for a glossy finish.
